This useful study explores the role of RAP2A in asymmetric cell division (ACD) regulation in glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs), drawing parallels to Drosophila ACD mechanisms and proposing that an ...

A new study published in Genetics in Medicine identifies a novel disease-associated gene, GPKOW, that plays an important role ...

A new study from Weill Cornell Medicine provides insights into how cells maintain the tiny end caps of chromosomes as they divide, a key process in keeping cells healthy. Using yeast, the ...

For example, you might have learned in sex ed that people are born with sex chromosomes. Generally, people assigned female at birth have two X chromosomes, and people assigned male at birth have ...

The last few years have provided us with a new level of understanding of how chromosomes are replicated, segregated and read - and how their 3D organisation influences expression of individual genes ...

Understanding how genes influence complex behaviors remains one of biology's most fascinating challenges. Now, however, in a recent study, researchers have compiled a comprehensive dataset documenting ...

Thanks to the flies, we know today that radioactivity can cause genetic mutations and breaks in chromosomes. A further milestone in the scientific career of Drosophila was the awarding of the Nobel ...

The Drosophila work has shown that mutations ... research may be expected to reveal a variety of forms with reduced chromosome numbers, coming into existence only to perish at once or in a few ...
